Reasonable on 11 January 2010
| slowmo said: People who never gamed prior to directx will probably never understand why the death of OpenGL as a solution developers used is such a tragedy. Directx was mainly used imo to kill off OpenGL developments which could be easily ported across to Apple PC's. I get fed up of reading a lot of hate towards Microsoft monopolies but this is one of the few instances where they genuinely killed off opposition. When it comes to internet browsers the consumer still has a choice, this is different as its a clear cut case of choice being removed from the consumers hand due to developments happening behind the scenes that the consumer cannot effect. |
Spot on assessment. I also don't like the 'evil empire' bashing either, but it's good to be able to acknowledge genuine cases of business manouvers that aren't necessarily for consumer benefit.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
